TCM Showing Disney Classics this Sunday!
I love classic movies; one of my favorite channels, Turner Classic Movies, is bringing some of your favorite Disney classic movies to the “small screen”, starting this Sunday!
TCM PRESENTS: THE FAMILY CLASSICS premieres Sunday, December 7 at noon and continues each Sunday in December, featuring such films as 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954), Freaky Friday (1976), The Parent Trap (1961), The Love Bug (1968), Treasure Island (1950), The Shaggy Dog (1959) and Swiss Family Robinson (1960), as well as Bedknobs and Broomsticks (1971), which stars Angela Lansbury.
I remember watching, on VHS, the original Freaky Friday and The Parent Trap when I was in grade school. We actually watched these movies in school on a yearly basis.
The Swiss Family Robinson is so inspiring and enchanting! Every kid who watches it imagines the fun of living in an enormous tree house!
I watched Old Yeller in school when I was about seven. Admit it: you cried, too.
These are great movies that have become a part of the fabric of our culture.
Set your TIVO this Sunday, or just get ready for a family movie marathon.
